Doyle returns to US after father’s passing

Milton Doyle will miss this weekend’s clash with New Zealand, following the recent passing of his father.

Doyle and his family have returned to the United States to be with family and attend the funeral.

JackJumpers CEO Christine Finnegan passed the club’s condolences on to the import guard.

“On behalf of the entire club, I want to express my heartfelt condolences to the Doyle family,” Finnegan said.

“Our thoughts are with Milton and his family at this time, and we will support them in any way we can through this difficult period.”

Doyle’s absence means Lachie Barker well step into the roster as the nominated replacement player for Saturday’s clash with New Zealand.
